"The young man from Sullivan's Plumbing was on time and very courteous.  As soon as we explained the problem, he went right to work.  He explained that to do the best search for the leak, he needed to look for the access behind the shower that the builder had put in.  It turned out that there was no such access, so with our permission, he cut  a small hole in the back rear of our linen closet.  He later covered it neatly with a white plastic cover, and it is barely noticeable.  He found that the leak occurred because the faucet was slightly separated from the tub wall, allowing water from the shower head to drip inside the gap, so he caulked the gap around the faucet.  He did that with a material that dried to an almost invisible finish, so it did not mar the appearance of the shower.  At our request, he then checked our master bathtub faucet, and caulked it with the same material.  He worked quickly and efficiently, and the amount charged for the work done seem very fair to me.  I have used Sullivan's before, and have been pleased.  I would definitely call them again for plumbing work.

"Chris, Luis and Travis were great!They were easy to reach and quick to visit us (despite our post-snowstorm driveway conditions). They all communicate well and ensure an understanding on both sides every step of the way. Travis and a colleague were both courteous while in our home and did a nice, clean install of a new water softener and sediment filter. We’re very happy with the service we received so highly recommend Plumbing Champions!"

Customers say: Quick response

"I had researched replacing my broken standard water heater with a whole house instant water heater and Plumb Perfect was directed to me by HomeAdvisor. Mr. Alexander had GREAT communication with me on arriving on time and my options with what I had already researched. He offered another option that I was previously not aware of that would save me nearly $1000 on initial costs from what I had researched online. Mr. Alexander was extremely courteous, professional and was genuinely interested in my needs being met over his final costs. I can't say enough about how comfortable I was with his recommendations, attitude and demeanor towards this project. He gave me honest and clear pros and cons towards my research that I may not have considered as well as for his recommendations and let me decide what I thought was best for my situation. I have added his number to my favorites list and will call upon him again if I need his services. If you are ever in need of a plumber Mr. Alexander with Plumb Perfect should be your first call. Thank you for your service Mr. Alexander, Ed. B"

"There was a Culligan system in our new house. I had them come in to service the unit because we were having horrible iron staining issues. They did a review of the system and maintenance and said it was now working fine. The horrible staining persisted. We then had Kinetico come in, recommended by a neighbor. We found out the system was not working at all. They installed a new system for a decent price. It uses a good deal less salt. I have had no staining and the soft water is exceptional and does not taste salty at all. We had Robert come back a few weeks later and retest our water and it is perfect. After a month there is still no staining. Before it would stain within 3 days. We are extremely happy with this system, our salt use is minimal and there wonâ t be any maintenance for years."

"Arrived when promised.  Same installation team that replaced my water softener, so they were familiar with my configuration and I was familiar with their work.  They removed the old water filter and installed a new one.  This required some new water lines.  They installed a shut-off valve on the supply side of the filter, recognizing that I had no such shut-off valve and could only shut off the water by shutting off the electricity to the pump at the circuit breaker.  This was a very thoughtful and much appreciated action on their part.  It is evident that they take pride in their work, which instills confidence.

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

There are several things that can shorten the life of a water softener. Homes with very hard water may have to replace the unit sooner because the water softener works harder to filter out the hard minerals. High water usage and infrequent maintenance can also put more strain on a water softener.

Some shower water softeners are effective, but this isn’t always the case. Most shower filters only filter out chlorine, not hard minerals like calcium. Other shower filters can't handle the demand in homes with very hard water. It's also important to change the filters on your shower filters. Failure to regularly swap out old filters will make the filter ineffective over time. 

Most experts agree there’s not much difference health-wise between hard water versus soft water. That said, hard water is more likely to cause skin dryness and issues that go along with it, like an itchy or flaky scalp. Hard water can also decrease the life span of your household appliances and make it more difficult for soap to do its job.

The primary difference between a water softener and a water filter lies in what they remove from the water. A water softener is designed to remove hard minerals like calcium and magnesium. In contrast, a water filter has a broader effect, removing various contaminants above a certain size, which can include bacteria and other impurities.

To decide which you need, consider your goal. If you want to eliminate hard minerals, choose a softener. If you want to remove a wide range of contaminants, a filter is the better option. Filters are also generally less expensive to install. Depending on your water supply, you may need to install both for comprehensive treatment.

There are many possibilities for why your shower’s water pressure is low. It might be a simple-to-fix issue like the water valves being partially turned off, a dirty showerhead or hose, leaks in the plumbing, or an old showerhead. However, low water pressure in the shower could also indicate a larger issue with your home’s plumbing system.
